Protects military and civil aircraft against shoulder-launched missiles (MANPADS). At the heart of the AMPS-M system is BIRD’s Suite Controller (MCDU) that manages the MILDS passive imaging sensors, provides threat display to the operators and functions as the counter measures firing controller.

AMPS-M tracks and identifies the UV sources through its MILDS imaging sensors, which additionally determine the angle of attack and priority of the threat. The MCDU then accurately initiates proper countermeasures and warns the pilot to begin necessary evasive maneuvers.

The AMPS-M system provides full threat coverage, a very low false alarm rate, and maximum warning time for the deployment of appropriate countermeasures and ensuring the highest level of protection for crew and aircraft.
